Zhang Mu immediately found the reconnaissance bugs. Judging from the pictures brought back by the reconnaissance bugs, Glacier City's army was dozens of miles away and approaching the outskirts of the Ice and Snow Ridge. There was no doubt that they were heading towards the Snow Alliance. It can be seen that the hiding place of the Snow Alliance has been exposed. According to the marching speed of the frost trolls, the vanguard army can arrive in 1 day, and the main force will take about 2 days.
This was a discovery, let alone an ordinary Snow League warrior.
Xueling and the other senior officials were all panic-stricken and uneasy.
Everyone knows that the Snow League does not have the ability to fight a decisive battle with Glacier City, at least now it is not the time for a decisive battle. The Snow Alliance's undead army is 70,000, but the Snow King has not been born. They have been on the run for more than 20 days, and their soldiers have no fighting spirit and morale. How can they fight against the elite frost troll soldiers led by Vaughn himself
The senior leaders of the Snow Alliance and the senior leaders of the human race began to discuss.
"We must block the news!" Xue Lingqiang calmed down, "Now everyone's morale is low. If the news that Vaughan led his army to attack spreads, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Zhang Mu did not agree with Xue Ling's approach, "This approach is meaningless. The frost troll vanguard is coming soon. If we hide it for a while, it will not be helpful to the overall situation. Instead of hiding it, we should think of ways to stabilize the morale of the army and consider how to deal with it. Policy."
Xue Ling thought it made sense and immediately asked: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhang Mu frowned and said nothing.
Someone suggested: "We can't fight, so withdraw!"
Lei Ming stood up and retorted: "Absolutely not, we are not in a suitable state to withdraw. Besides, the large group of troops retreated, leaving very obvious traces, and the frost trolls will definitely be able to track them down."
The Snow Alliance's retreat will be more costly. They must first give up the altar. Without the altar, the Snow Alliance cannot create an undead army. What's more, Glacier City has already arrived at the door. Is it really necessary to retreat now? A powerful frost troll can easily detect anything within a few dozen miles that exceeds the ambient temperature. There is no way for the more than 200,000 people in the Snow Alliance to escape no matter what.
"Since retreat is ruled out, fighting is inevitable." Long Hao was a resolute man. He stood up and said, "We don't have to waste time. Taking advantage of the fact that the Glacier City army has not arrived, we can do some mobilization and hopefully mobilize everyone's morale. In fact, with an army of 70,000 undead at our disposal and a defensive advantage, we may not have no chance of winning."
"The war must be fought, but we must not rush it. The Snow Alliance has two armies, an army of 70,000 undead and an army of hundreds of thousands of living beings with low combat effectiveness and low morale. How to use these troops is very important."
It was Huang Tian who spoke.
Long Hao asked coldly: "What does Mr. Huang think?"
Huang Tian put his hand on the sword and said slowly: "As long as you use your troops in the right way, you can often burst out with extraordinary combat effectiveness. There is nothing to say about the 70,000 undead. They have no thoughts and feelings and no fear. They are best suited to withstand the powerful frost. Troll. As for the Snow Alliance, its morale is low and it has no fighting spirit. It cannot be used to directly fight the enemy. Otherwise, if it is frustrated, it will be defeated and it will cause trouble. "
Zhang Mu nodded when he heard this: "How does Mr. Huang plan to use it?"
"Give warriors a glimmer of hope."
"Hope, where is the hope?"
Huang Tian drew his sword and pointed at the map and said, "Detach an army and attack the three occupied towns. As far as I know, after the Frost Trolls drove away the Snow Alliance forces, they once stationed heavy troops in the three towns. Since a large number of troops were stationed there, Frost Trolls, then they will definitely stock up on food. What we are short of is food. If we use this as a lure, it will definitely boost morale and make the soldiers fight to the death!"
Zhang Mu understood what Huang Tian was thinking. Huang Tian planned to use the undead army to stop the frost trolls. The Snow League's army was only responsible for supporting them. At the same time, a large part of them was divided to surprise the rear of the frost trolls and take advantage of the main force of the trolls to seize food. .
"Old Hei, how much energy is left in the Dawn?"
"It's not a lot, but it's not a big problem to sustain a day's flight."
Zhang Mu nodded when he heard this, and his eyes fell on Xue Ling, "This strategy can work!"
Xue Ling listened to what the humans said to each other. Now she had no idea. She was so confused that she could only choose to believe Zhang Mu, "What are you going to do?"
Lei Ming came over and said: "There is no time to explain, please believe us!"
Xue Ling did not hesitate: "We are all in the same boat, so why not believe you?"
Long Hao pressed his sword and stood up and said: "President Zhang Mu, our troops are divided into two groups. On the side of the Dawn spaceship, please be prepared. As for the people outside, leave it to me."
Zhang Mu nodded: "No problem!"
After this short meeting, everyone left the temporary meeting room. Zhang Mu went straight to the Shuguang. He wanted to empty out the contents of the Shuguang to make more space and load enough warriors. As for Long Hao, with the help of Xueling and Manshi, he gathered all the Snow Alliance soldiers together and held a mobilization speech before the battle.
This is important, especially now.
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered around the altar.
There was snow falling in the sky, and the soldiers stood densely in the snow. They were all weak, with earth-colored faces, and their eyes were blurred and blank.
In more than a month, they first lost their relatives or friends in the Battle of Ice and Snow Pass, then the Glacier City army invaded the border and took away the town where they had lived for hundreds of years. Finally, they fled to Ice and Snow Ridge, where they suffered from hunger and cold for twenty days. Most of these soldiers have not received formal military training. When they endure the dual mental and physical torture, the soldiers feel desperate from the bottom of their hearts.
Xue Ling walked up to the altar, glanced at everyone, pretended to be calm and confident, and said: "Dear compatriots, the Snow Alliance is facing the most severe test in history! We have lost our home, the environment is very difficult, everything is temporary! I I have the confidence to defeat Glacier City, and I hope you can also strengthen your faith! Because our ancestors will be with us... "
Xueling said a lot, but the response was not ideal.
In other words, everyone has no energy left.
"Let me do it."
Long Hao walked up to the altar.
Xue Ling nodded slightly to him, then retreated.
Long Hao stood on the high altar, looking down at everyone calmly, and suddenly said: "Are you hungry?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Long Hao continued: "I haven't eaten for three days, and now I'm so hungry that I can't hold my sword. I think there must be someone worse than me. A warrior who can't even hold his sword steady, how can he talk about fighting like this? How can an army formed by soldiers fight a war? Am I right?"
People in the Snow Alliance were talking a lot, and they didn't know what Long Hao wanted to express.
Long Hao drew out his crystal blue sword and pointed in a direction outside the Ice and Snow Ridge. "There is plenty of food in the hands of the frost trolls. Why don't we grab it?"
"Stealing food from the frost trolls?"
"Isn't that going to death?"
“…”
Probably too eager for food, someone finally responded.
Long Hao retracted his sword and said loudly: "We tried to lure the main force of the frost trolls away, so that the town was empty. It was easy for us to seize the large amounts of food stored in the town during the raid! We We have been waiting for an opportunity, but not long ago, the opportunity we have been waiting for finally came! Frost Troll Vaughn led the main force to leave the garrison. There are no troops guarding the town now. If we launch an attack immediately, we will definitely be able to The frost troll took a large amount of food from his hands, laying the foundation for our future victory!"
"food?"
"Is there really food?"
Food is too tempting for a group of hungry and cold people!
After listening to Long Hao's words, everyone's blood boiled with excitement.
Although there are some obvious flaws in the words, no one can care so much for food!
Grabbing food from the towns occupied by the frost trolls is currently the only way to quickly obtain food to maintain an army of more than 200,000 people.
Long Hao continued: "The frost trolls are on the road now, and they don't know our plan yet. They can't go back in a short time. But we have the advantage of high-speed spaceships. Please choose a brave force now and follow me to kill them." Seize food from the town! Do you have the strength to fight?!"
"have!"
The deafening sound echoed across the ground.
"very good!"
Long Hao nodded with satisfaction.
"Without further ado, let's start selecting the team. We'll set off right away."
If they were to directly fight the Frost Trolls, it would be difficult for the Snow Alliance to mobilize their fighting spirit, but with food as a temptation, these hungry and red-eyed people would be even crazier than normal. Long Hao selected an army of 50,000, and Zhang Mu had already prepared it. The 50,000 soldiers lined up to enter the Dawn spaceship. The entire spacecraft was slowly packed, and the corridors were filled with people.
As for the remaining hundreds of thousands of people, although they did not go with them, Long Hao's vow gave them a glimmer of hope.
Therefore, the fighting spirit has improved a lot.
As long as we wait until the Dawn spacecraft returns, the hunger problem that has been tormenting for many days will be solved!
With food.
Only then do you have the motivation to live.
Everyone was completely dejected and immediately began to deploy defenses under the arrangement. The Frost Troll army will arrive soon. The Frost Trolls have a very clear purpose. They must come with the intention of destroying the altar and taking away the coffin of Hades. This is the only hope for the Snow Alliance to win.
The Frost Trolls dispatched an army of more than 50,000.
However, the Frost Troll has thick health and high defense. At the same time, the army is well-trained and has very strong combat effectiveness. Not to mention Vaughn, a person with such cutting-edge combat power. If he wants to destroy the altar, he will definitely have a way to do it.
Everyone divides the work.
Long Hao led a group of people to follow the Dawn to attack the three towns.
Zhang Mu stayed in Ice and Snow Ridge and personally participated in the defense. He divided his army into two parts. One part was ambushing in nearby canyons and mountains, setting up an ambush in the area where the frost trolls must pass. The other part was ambushing near the altar, using To protect the Altar of the Dead.
The Dawn is ready to depart.
"Wood, you have to be careful!"
Leng Yun also set off with the Shuguang, along with Lei Ming, Du Rongrong, Fatty, and Sanggou.
Zhang Mu made an OK gesture to them.
The door of the Dawn was closed, and the spacecraft started to launch, slowly floating into the air, and then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Mu saw everyone put on a defensive posture and took a deep breath, hoping it would work!
